| | Tasted by Rich.Herbs on 9/4/2012: I'm a fan of earthy wines. This one was earthy all right, but also sour, meaty, with a thin and disjointed finish. I hoped that it would improve after breathing, but it went downhill from there. This was my second bottle (I thought I enjoyed the first but I can't remember), and I must have held on to it for too long. Even so, it's hard to believe that it once added up to much. (2646 views) |

| | Tasted by czar33 on 9/11/2010 & rated 83 points: Toujours aussi peu attrayant, à mon avis. Au mieux, notes d'épices au nez mais mince et à la limite rêche. (3377 views) |

| | Tasted by wahoo70 on 4/25/2010 & rated 86 points: At Vino Volo (Phila. airport), part of the Bistro sampling flight. Fake fruity nose, but very dry, good acidity, light color, with red fruit, earth notes and weeds; tart finish, ending in sour cherries. Didn't quite come together in my mind. (2415 views) |

| | Tasted by sofarsolar on 3/8/2010: Green peppers! Maybe jalapeño too. (2367 views) |
| | Tasted by christhewino on 2/28/2010 & rated 84 points: This is not as good as the 2006 but may improve. It lacks some of the sweetness of the 06 and also some of the length. The aromas are fir trees and green peppers, with just a small hint of red fruits. The palate is woody, herby and the finish is smooth red currant. (2266 views) |
| | Tasted by philhamelin on 1/27/2010: I have been drinking this wine for years. Vintage after vintage, it shows that mineralized red fruit, supple tannins, a hint of earth. I love the rusticity. No wine on the market is more honest. Drink now. (2379 views) |
